    DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in 13 years, let’s put 67 of them in office and then see what needs to change from there.

    The DNC platform is taxing the rich and reversing the Citizens United decision.

      Oh, well if the platform says it then it must be true, lol!

      There’s always a “Blue Dog”, or a “Blue Slip Rule”, or a Parliamentarian to help them steal defeat out of the jaws of victory. That’s not to mention the Rahm Emanuel’s, the “advisors” (the real representatives of the real DNC constituency: rich people), the fuckery around primaries and caucuses, etc.

      It’s all deliberate. You have to be extremely naive to see the composite image that emerges and continue to believe otherwise.

        Call their bluff. The other side doesn’t even pretend to support taxing the rich or ending Citizens United. If the DNC were back in total control and disenfranchised its voters you’d be closer than ever to your accelerationist goals.

          I don’t desire acceleration, it’s simply what’s happening. There is a reason why the DNC remains a private and undemocratic organization.
